Google Teacher Academy

The GTA is a free professional development experience designed to help primary and secondary educators from around the globe get the most from innovative technologies. Produced by CUE, each Academy is an intensive, two-day event during which participants get hands-on experience with Google tools, learn about innovative instructional strategies, receive resources to share with colleagues, and immerse themselves in a supportive community of educators making impact.

Founded by an educator and educational technologist, Adam Bellow, eduClipper aims to make it simple to help students and educators save time, build personal learning networks, and begin to shift the culture of assessment to be more holistic and include the wonderfully amazing work that students and teachers are creating in the classroom.

Presify allows you to “broadcast” a digital presentation to participants on mobile devices. Presenters can also collect feedback from participants and soon participants will be able to ask questions, make notes, and answer polls all in real-time. This may be worth keeping an eye on as it becomes more fully developed.

ReadWorks.org was founded in 2010 to help teachers meet the nationwide crisis in reading comprehension. We help teachers improve their effectiveness through research-based, classroom-proven practices and curriculum.
